The smaller project is to provide concrete overlays to six bridges on I-680 between U.S. Route 224 and South Avenue. That project has caused I-680 to be reduced to two lanes in each direction over Midlothian Boulevard and two ramp closures: the I-680 southbound exit to Midlothian Boulevard and I-680 northbound on ramp, which is accessed when drivers are heading east on Midlothian.

“With the concrete overlays, you’re looking at the driving surface on the bridges. They weren’t on the best shape. Structurally, the bridge is fine,” Chesnic said.

The project cost for that is $4.5 million and the entire project should be done in October, he said.
